This idea has been rattling around in the back of my mind all night, so I thought I'd write it down and see if it amounts to anything. TEN THINGS A COWBOY SHOULD NOT DO 1. Drink with a straw 2. Drive anything under 300 horsepower (unless it's a vintage collectable) 3. Ride in anything under 110 horsepower (unless it's a vintage collectable) 4. Wear running shoes 5. Go to a romantic comedy (chick flicks should be watched in the privacy of the home) 6. Carry around a water bottle 7. Eat anything low fat, other than watermelon 8. Order a steak cooked longer than medium-rare 9. Wear a hat while eating 10 Vote Democrat Wow, did that in five minutes. Three more hours of work to burn.

And what could possibly be wrong with eating with your hat on?
Actually cowboys almost NEVER took their hats off. Maybe in church or at a barn dance where there were ladies. Otherwise no. They even slept in them.
Next to his pony, saddle and sixgun, if he was lucky enuff to own them, his stetson was a prized possession--and in the desert southwest a survival tool.
I think you goofed up on this one Ranger--too much mocha cappuchinno (sp.) from New York City!
And another thing: real cowboys, especially Texas Rangers, don't wear
baby blue tights--hey , don't blame me, I don't make this stuff up, I just report the truth.
Love ya, buddy.
Just curious, LR...
What's your position on Cowboys and convertable sports cars?
I've got one. A cowboy should never wear sandals.
Trader Rick is correct. Out here
you eat with your hat on. Because if you hang it up it'll get rustled, and if you put it down, one of them other ranglers will sit on the dang thing and break it.
I should have made it clear that I meant indoors at a table. Drives me nuts when I walk into a cafe and some guy is sitting with his cap jamed down around his ears (usually backward - another sore spot) shoveling food into his mouth.
That comes from 24 years of military experience and from back in the days when table manners still existed.
Convertable sports cars are ok as long as they're American-made. If you're referring to me, I prefer to think I drive a muscle car, even though it was made after 1975.
I would have included sandals if the list were longer. I have NEVER worn them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and cowboys smoked and swore and chewed tobacco and drank and did a bunch of other things I'd never do. That's why I stick to kids' cowboys as heros. Blue tights don't bother me a bit if they are laundered regularly.
Uh, guys, "Convertible" is not spelled with an "a".
And sandles are completely OK, if the Cowboy is at the beach. It's sandles worn with SOCKS that is a no-no. Geesh, what's up with you guys?
And if your cowboy hat "breaks" that's because it's made of straw--get a felt or leather one!!!
Go Gators!
I know, I know. That's one of those words I ALWAYS misspell. I was going to correct it, but didn't get around to it.
My next hat is going to be beaver. A bit pricey, but worth it.
I'm sorry, but sandals are not OK. There is something very un-cowboy about wearing unprotective footwear.
What if you had to rescue a lady in distress, or break in a horse or something. You can't do that in an open toed shoe.
